Authorised Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III) Uveitis

A Study of Baricitinib (LY3009104) in Participants From 2 Years to Less Than 18 Years Old With Active JIA-Associated Uveitis or Chronic Anterior Antinuclear Antibody-Positive Uveitis

EU CTIS ID: 2023-505811-18-00

What this study is testing

The reason for this study is to see if the study drug baricitinib given orally is safe and effective in participants with active juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)-associated uveitis or chronic anterior antinuclear antibody-positive uveitis from 2 years to less than 18 years old.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Participants must have a diagnosis of JIA-U or chronic anterior antinuclear antibody (ANA) positive uveitis without systemic features.
  • Participants must have active anterior uveitis, defined as cellular infiltrate in the anterior chamber of SUN criteria grade ≥1+ at screening and randomization, despite prior treatment with adequate doses of topical steroid therapy and methotrexate (MTX).
  • Participants must have an inadequate response or intolerance to MTX.
  • Participants must be on a stable dose of corticosteroid eye drops for at least 2 weeks prior to screening with a maximum of 4 drops/day/eye at screening.
  • Participants and their partners of child bearing potential must agree to use 2 effective methods of contraception for the duration of the study and for at least 1 week following the last dose of investigational product.

You likely can't join if

  • Participants must not have a history or presence of any autoimmune inflammatory condition other than JIA, such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
  • Participants must not have any contraindications to adalimumab.
  • Exception: Participants who are biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD) inadequate response or intolerance with a contraindication to adalimumab may be enrolled, as they will be assigned to baricitinib.
  • Participants must not have increased intraocular pressure ≥25 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or that required treatment, including increases in medications, surgery, or hospitalization, within 4 weeks prior to baseline that, in the opinion of the investigator, would pose an unacceptable risk to the participant.
  • Participants must not have had intraocular surgery within the 3 months prior to screening (such as for cataract(s), glaucoma or vitrectomy).
  • Participants must not have a current or recent (<4 weeks prior to baseline) infection.
